“I am the LORD your God,
You shall have no other gods before me.”

A reflection on Matthew 5:44 by Bayless Conley

Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do.
For I can't count the blessing or love he has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear
Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year...

The Four Candles burned slowly.
Their ambiance was so soft you could hear them speak...

Uninterrupted Awareness of God
and a quote by Octavius Winslow ...

I cannot say "our" if my religion has no room for others and their needs.
I cannot say "Father" if I do not demonstrate this relationship in my daily life...

A reflection on John 10:3
...to think that your name is on God’s hand and on God’s lips ...
Quite a thought, isn’t it?

Life has been full of ups and downs,
being a Christian does not make you immune to life’s problems and dark times,
but having ‘Christ in you’ gives you the power, strength and greatest of all,
the love, to overcome, when humanly, it would be all but impossible!
With God all things are possible! (Matthew 19:26)

I stare at the grey-rain sky.
The clouds have rolled in this week.
I feel it in my heart too--
little puffs of fear, worry, distraction.
But then I remember...

Several prayers for Pentecost

To believe is to know that every day is a new beginning ...

One day you will see that it all has finally come together ...

It is only Jesus who does all things well, and who does them well all of the time...

You have no reason to worry or fear,
and every reason to be at rest...

Brides
No difficulty large or small, Can come between my Lord and me
If I can build a bridge of prayer To feel His presence constantly ...

He Has Said, So We May Say
a reflection by Bayless Conley added:

What does God say?
He says He will never leave you.
He says He will never forsake you.
As a result you can say,
"The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"

Value what you have
...Some time later, the poet met his friend and asked whether he had sold the property to which he replied:
I’ve changed my mind. When I read what you had written, I realized the treasure that was mine.

A while back, I read a very interesting book that compared life
to a train ride or a series of train rides...

I had lived very selfishly and it had not made me happy...
It was then that I asked Jesus Christ to come into my life,
to be my Lord and Savior.

A Modern Parable on Reading the Bible
You might not understand or remember everything,
but when you read it, it will change you from the inside out.
That is the work of God in our lives ...
to change us from the inside out and to slowly transform us into the image of His Son.

Prayer for the Day - by Roy Lessin

What are you afraid of?
The question that the gospel of grace puts to us is simply this: Who shall separate you from the love of Christ? ...

You Are Not Alone
You are not alone—
For God is with you.
You are not without hope—
For God has a place prepared for you.

HOPE because God is working on your behalf.
PEACE because God will be with you wherever you go...

Life is so full of meaning and purpose,

Courage then to claim it; that is all!...
Fra Giovanni Giocondo

My son, Nicholas, was in kindergarten that year.
It was an exciting season for a six-year-old.
My son's class rose to sing, "Christmas Love," ...

To be honest, I didn't want to at first...
Eventually, I began to feel much better.
I now understand that even though I didn't get the response I expected,
God didn't abandon me...

Speaking aloud again he says,
"God, it's a joke, isn't it? Life is nothing but a joke."
Suddenly, it occurs to the man that this is the first time he's talked to God since he was a little boy.
And then he heard a voice say, 'It doesn't have to be that way!'

A reflection by Max Lucado on 1 Corinthians 13:8 - Love never fails
God loves you simply because he has chosen to do so.

Having listened to a number of testimonies, I realised that mine was slightly different.
This tells us something - that Jesus comes to our lives in different ways...

This hymn tells my story the best:
I heard the voice of Jesus say Come unto me and rest.
Lay down thou weary one, lay down Thy head upon my breast.
I came to Jesus as I was Weary and worn and sad
I found in Him a resting place And He has made me glad.

Darren "Daz" Gedye shares his testimony
I grew up in a non-Christian home. My father is an atheist and my mother was a backslidden Christian, due mostly to marrying my father I suspect. Anyway, I grew up an atheist. I never went to Church or Sunday school, stayed in bed till lunch-time on Sundays, and hated Christians who I thought were all stupid.

Ron Tempest shares his testimony
You and I, were created to have life and fellowship with God, to live according to his ways and to enjoy daily, his peace, provision and protection, things which many in the world are today seeking for. I have discovered I now have a real and meaningful purpose in life, a purpose of substance.

Who are you, Lord? Saul asked. I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting, he replied.
